The UK is currently enjoying a heatwave - following months of sub zero temperatures and sporadic snow.

However many people are wondering if the sunshine and rocketing temperatures will last until Saturday and the weekend.

With temperatures looking set to hit up to 28C, the population looks set to enjoy a record breaking day today (Thursday 19) with the hottest April in nearly 70 years.

And while temperatures are unlikely to remain this high forever, it seems we'll all need to stock up on suncream, as according to experts the weather for the summer is looking very promising over the coming months.

According to Express.co.uk, Mark Stephens-Row, meteorologist with The Weather Company, has said temperatures are expected to remain good for next month too, and even potentially all the way up until September.

He said: “The overall picture is for May is for the month to be slightly warmer than normal, especially in the northwest including Scotland and Wales.

“June is looking warm and dry everywhere especially in the south with July and August again likely to bring slightly above average temperatures for the time of year.

“We are also expecting it to be mostly drier than normal everywhere.”

The news comes after forecasters had warned literally last month that snow and freezing temperatures were set to sweep across the country in time for the Easter bank holiday weekend.

Any hopes for a sunny long weekend have been dashed as snow hit the country yet again.
